sdk-golang/example/http-client

Overview

This example demonstrates a ztfied HTTP client.

This example demonstrates:

• Dialing a service by intercept address.

Requirements

• an Hanzo ZT network. If you do not have one, you can use one of the quickstarts to set one up.
• Hanzo ZT CLI to create services and identities on the Hanzo ZT Network

Build the example

Refer to the example README to build the SDK examples

Part 1: Set up a cURLz to a non-ztfied endpoint

These steps will configure the service using the Hanzo ZT CLI. In this example, the traffic starts on the overlay zero trust network and then is offloaded onto the underlay network.

Part 1 Architecture Overview

At the end of these steps you will have created:

• a service called web.endpoint
• an identity to connect to (dial) the service
• the service config to connect the service to the overlay
• the service policies required to authorize the identities for bind and dial

Steps:

1. log into Ziti. The host:port and username/password will vary depending on your network.

   zt edge login localhost:1280 -u admin -p admin
   

2. Determine your edge router's name and populate this environment variable with it.

   zt edge list edge-routers
   export ZITI_EDGE_ROUTER=<name-of-edge-router>
   

3. Run this script to create everything you need.

   cd <repo-root-dir>/example/build
   
   echo Create the service config
   zt edge create config httpbin.hostv1 host.v1 '{"protocol":"tcp", "address":"httpbin.org","port":80}'
   zt edge create config httpbin.clientv1 intercept.v1 '{"protocols":["tcp"], "addresses":["httpbin.zt"],"portRanges":[{"low":80,"high":80}]}'
   
   echo Create the service
   zt edge create service zt.httpbin --configs "httpbin.hostv1,httpbin.clientv1"
   
   echo Create an identity to make the dial request and enroll it
   zt edge create identity user http-client -a clients -o http-client.jwt
   zt edge enroll --jwt http-client.jwt
   
   echo Create service policies
   zt edge create service-policy zt.httpbin.dial Dial --service-roles "@zt.httpbin" --identity-roles "#clients"
   zt edge create service-policy zt.httpbin.bind Bind --service-roles "@zt.httpbin" --identity-roles "@${ZITI_EDGE_ROUTER}"
   
   echo Create edge router policies
   zt edge create edge-router-policy zt.httpbin-edge-router-policy --edge-router-roles '#all' --identity-roles '#clients,#servers'
   zt edge create service-edge-router-policy zt.httpbin-service-edge-router-policy --edge-router-roles '#all' --service-roles '@zt.httpbin'
   
   echo Run policy advisor to check
   zt edge policy-advisor services
   

4. Run the http-client example for service zt.httpbin using intercept address tcp:httpbin.zt:80

   ZITI_IDENTITIES=http-client.json ./http-client http://httpbin.zt
   

Example Output

The following is the output you'll see.

export ZITI_IDENTITIES=http-client.json
$ ./http-client http://httpbin.zt/json
